10x Transformation: Achieve Greater Growth By Letting Go​

Alright, welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I want to give you some really good closure to the conversations we've been having this week.  I want to talk to you about how you can truly transform your life and go to a 10x level, not just a 2x.

And as you're finishing out your year here, obviously I want you to really be thinking hard about how you can finish the year strong, but also truly find a way to get to the next level this next year.

_{only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.}

Understanding the 10X Transformation

Risking in order to find out what your limits are and if you are not exposing your limits if you're not operating outside your comfort zone Then you're not ever going to really truly find what you can create and do and that goes really well with this concept We're talking about today with the 10x Transformation so I'm going to jump right into it.

I want to share these ideas with you before you head off into the weekend  And we talked this week about how you need to transform those three core areas of your life, your identity, your timing, your leadership. But today I want to talk about the real core, the real crux of what you're going to need to do.

The takeaway from the book that we've been referencing by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan called 10X is Easier Than 2X. And think about that title for a minute, 10X is Easier Than 2X. If you feel like growing your life is going to take a lot of work, then you're in a 10, you're in a 2x mindset. That means you're just thinking you have to do more of what you've already done.

And in order to truly grow to the next level, you've got to have that 10x mindset.

The 80/20 Principle for 10X Growth

The 10x mindset is going to be easier, but to make that happen, the core basic principle I want you to think about today is that it's going to require you to get rid of 80 percent of what you're focused on. The 80 20 principle is core to this whole idea of 10x in your life because a 2x mindset versus a 10x mindset.

is going to require you to let go of 80 percent of your current focus. Now, why is that? Because we're going to be talking about higher quality, not higher quantity. You've got to be able to learn to focus on this higher quality of your time, your attention, and your focus.

‍

Future Self vs. Past Self

And to become 10X, you really have to begin with the idea of approaching a vision of your future self.

See, this 2X thinking, and we're going to break down the difference between the two,  is real critical. It all boils down to how you see, how you think, and how you react. to your life. So what is a 2x thinking? Many of you are in that mode right now because you're doing more of what you've always done.

You're trying to do more in order to get 2x more and that seems like a lot of work. And you're keeping 80 percent of what you're currently doing. You're just trying to do it better and you're trying to do more of it. And the other thing to keep in mind is that 80 percent of what you're doing is, and think about this really carefully for a minute, 80 percent of what you're doing is based on your past self and the perception and perspective you have of what your limits are, what you've been able to do.

So think about that. 80 percent of what you're doing is based on your past perspective.  And so you're operating quite a bit from your past and trying to get to the next level. But 10X thinking, 10X thinking is getting rid of 80 percent because you're no longer focused on the past.

‍

Implementing the 10X Mindset

What you're doing is you're Focused on the future seemingly impossible version of yourself, and you're starting to structure your time, your attention, your identity, and everything around that.

And so what you do is you keep only about 20% of what you're doing, but you do it. 10x better. So you keep the 20 percent that's working for you.  And this really does require you to work based on the future, operating from the future version of yourself. Because the key is to keep getting clearer and clearer on what your potential is.

Your 10x self, your future self. When you can do that, what that'll do is that'll open up to this whole concept of Increasing the 80 percent with new ideas, new avenues, new opportunities. And when I say your future seemingly impossible version of yourself, it's because you don't have to necessarily understand, believe, or know exactly how you're going to get to that point you're going to be at.

But the key is to know where you want to be. See, a 2x thinker is basing most of their perception on the past, whereas a 10x thinker is someone who is looking at the future version of themselves and saying, what would that person do? What would that person spend your time on? If you were earning a much higher level of income, would you spend your time on the tasks that you're currently spending your time on?

And when you start to really align with that future version, that 10x version, You're going to want to let go of 80 percent of the things that you're working on because it doesn't align with what you're trying to accomplish. That's the real key here. This whole concept of the 80 20 really is a concept most people know in business.

20 percent creates most of your results.  Truly to become 10x, you've got to learn to take it to the next level.  And 10x the 20%, but replace the 80%. It's the story that you've heard many times of when Michael Angelo created the Statue of David, that marble Statue of David. When the Pope asked him how he was able to do that, he said he simply stripped away everything that was not  the Statue of David.

Meaning, it's time for you to strip away all of the parts of you that are not. The 10X version, the future version. It's time for you to start to really clarify and begin to view yourself as the future version and not based on your past.

Final Thoughts and Weekend Motivation

So the key here is, and I'm going to wrap this up with this thought to leave you into the weekend, is that you've got to create a vision and clarity around what your 10X self is.

And you've got to do this because it's very important that you go to the next level with your vision. in order to get clear. The more clear you are, the easier it is to make those decisions. Making those decisions will become so clear because as Dan Sullivan talks about, the 10x life, the 10x vision, the 10x identity, that's going to require a lot of uncertainty and fear.

It's really going to require you to operate outside your comfort zone in areas that you don't understand and when you're operating in the area of uncertainty and fear.  That's when clarity really comes in because when you know what you're looking for even if you don't know how to get there When you know what you're looking for, it's going to give you more confidence to operate in uncertainty So I recommend that you really do some thinking and some thought process around what your vision of your future 10x is and then also Just tips for productivity.

What I would do if I was you is I would start to put those boundaries, those barriers, and those strategies around what you're going to do to maintain that identity on a day to day basis. You need to make sure that you can maintain the productivity of your 10x self.

So that's the message for this week.
